What sort of mouse?
Console or X?
Assuming you have a ps/2 mouse then make sure you are running 'moused'.
Adding:
moused_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
to /etc/rc.conf should accomplish this on start up.
Now, to have X recognise the 4th button you'll need:
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "4"
in the options section of XF86Config.
You may need to add actions to X application resource files
to get any effect from the 4th button.
If it is not a ps/2 mouse take a look at: man moused
and the README.mouse file in the X documentation.
